"As a therapist I support people who feel stuck in their personal, romantic, or family lives due to feeling depressed, anxious, hurt, heartbroken, overwhelmed, hopeless, or angry. All of these issues can make you feel discouraged which does not help to be or act like your best self. When we are not our best selves, we can lose connection with ourselves and others and our lives become more difficult to manage... But, don't get discouraged... Very often pain in our lives is a necessary component for empowerment and growth and I encourage you to see an opportunity in it."

"Recovering from an eating disorder and/or severe trauma can frequently be difficult. My broad training and extensive experience enables me to work with patients in a variety of ways including traditional therapeutic approaches, the incorporation of art therapy as a component of treatment, and the use of EMDR. I work with each individual patient to determine the type of approach that best matches her personality and therapeutic needs. I have been one of the first psychotherapists to make use of expressive arts and EMDR in the treatment of eating disorders."

"In 30 years of private practice, I have helped many clients suffering from variations of attachment & trauma issues. I have obtained advanced training in several cutting-edge therapeutic modalities. Internal Family Systems Therapy has enabled me to help clients understand & heal the parts of themselves that have been burdened & exiled, as well as those engaging in the most extreme behaviors for protection. EMDR can focus in on specific traumatized parts & accelerate the healing process, while clinical hypnosis facilitates guiding attention inward to enable these processes. Acceptance, patience, perseverance, & compassion are the pillars of my approach."
